Abstract
Increasing integration of distributed energy resources (DER) and available monitoring devices in the power
distribution grid make system services provided by DERs possible
and an integral part of distribution grid operation. Numerous
publications have proposed various control solutions by utilizing
different capabilities of DERs and regulating devices to assist
grid operation. However, very few of them have discussed the
opportunities and barriers of deploying the control strategies
in practice. This paper reviews some typical control solutions on
providing voltage control services. Furthermore, it provides some
qualitative discussions on the challenges in view of deployment.
Several qualifying metrics are listed to specify the challenges
from different perspectives. A metrics comparison diagram is
proposed to asses deployment of a control strategy. Five case
studies are presented to identify the corresponding advantages
and challenges of deployment.
